Wood floor repair for Clay Common homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Clay Common customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

About our wood floor repair in Clay Common

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about burns and chipped board edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Clay Common and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clay Common. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clay Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
