Wood floor repair near Cold Norton

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Cold Norton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Wood floor repair in Cold Norton without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cold Norton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Cold Norton

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Cold Norton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cold Norton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
