  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

About our wood floor repair in Buckstone

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckstone

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What affects the price in Buckstone

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Buckstone. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
