Trusted wood floor repair in Clovenstone

Wood floor repair in Clovenstone without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Clovenstone. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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