Trusted wood floor repair in California

Wood floor repair at your home in California

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can help, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in California

Are there extra charges for California?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
