Wood floor repair for Cheam homes

Wood floor repair in Cheam, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Cheam

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

Questions from Cheam

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cheam. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cheam. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SM2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.
