Need wood floor repair in Capel?

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Wood floor repair in Capel, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to compare quotes

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

For a price in Capel, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Capel

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
