Questions from Clawton

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we handle wood floor repair in Clawton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Clawton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What affects the price in Clawton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after 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. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clawton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
