About our wood floor repair in Childer Thornton

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and burns, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
