About our wood floor repair in Cheriton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Cheriton

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

Landlord and trade work in Cheriton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

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

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Cheriton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Cheriton questions

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Cheriton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cheriton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
