Wood Floor Repair for Challney homes
We travel to Challney for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
How we handle wood floor repair in Challney
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.
