Wood floor repair near Cole End

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

About our wood floor repair in Cole End

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Cole End?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Cole End

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Cole End

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
