Wood floor repair in Canton

How we handle wood floor repair in Canton

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Canton and across Cardiff. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Common questions in Canton

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Signs you need wood floor repair in Canton

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

Landlord and trade work in Canton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
