Need wood floor repair in Coates?

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Wood floor repair in Coates, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to 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
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Coates

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coates as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
