Wood floor repair near Caversham Park Village

Wood floor repair at your home in Caversham Park Village

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in Caversham Park Village

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Caversham Park Village. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Caversham Park Village

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions from Caversham Park Village

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
