About our wood floor repair in Charlwood

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Our hiring checklist

Charlwood: your questions answered

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Charlwood?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you work in Charlwood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Charlwood. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Charlwood

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Charlwood. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Charlwood

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
