Wood floor repair at your home in Cann Common

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Cann Common

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Cann Common

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cann Common use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
