Wood floor repair for Caversham Heights homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Caversham Heights. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Wood floor repair at your home in Caversham Heights

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are often asked to fix burns and chipped board edges, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Caversham Heights and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Caversham Heights

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Caversham Heights

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Caversham Heights?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caversham Heights for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
