Wood floor repair for Cannington homes

Your questions about wood floor repair in Cannington

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

We cover the entire UK, including Cannington and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

How we handle wood floor repair in Cannington

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cannington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Cannington

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
