Trusted wood floor repair in Carnwath

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

About our wood floor repair in Carnwath

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can help, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

  • Boards that have lifted or warped

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carnwath

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carnwath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

What affects the price in Carnwath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
