Wood floor repair in California without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s burns and dents from dropped items, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for California. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

Questions from California

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Are there extra charges for California?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover California?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to California. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

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 price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Get a quote

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in California

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
