Trusted wood floor repair in Capel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Wood floor repair at your home in Capel

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and burns, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Capel?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
