Wood floor repair in Chawley

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our wood floor repair in Chawley

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chawley. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chawley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chawley 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. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Laminate flooring

Repair or replace in Chawley?

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
