Wood floor repair in Clayhanger without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and burns, we can generally put it right, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Clayhanger and across Somerset. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Clayhanger

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

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clayhanger

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Clayhanger

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
