About our wood floor repair in Clayton

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Clayton. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

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

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Clayton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Clayton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Clayton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you work in Clayton?

We do. Technicians travel to Clayton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Clayton

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
