Repairing versus replacing in Chelworth

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we handle wood floor repair in Chelworth

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chelworth and across Wiltshire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Chelworth

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you come to Chelworth?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chelworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
