About our wood floor repair in Butley

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help, whatever the material.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Butley. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire floor

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Butley?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Butley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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