Book wood floor repair in Childrey

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

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

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Wood floor repair at your home in Childrey

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Childrey

Do you come to Childrey?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Childrey from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Childrey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Childrey, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Childrey

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Childrey as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
