How we handle wood floor repair in Cockington

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cockington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cockington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Cockington

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Cockington. Prices do not change with location.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Torbay.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cockington. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
