Wood floor repair for Colgate homes

Repairing versus replacing in Colgate

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Colgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Wood floor repair at your home in Colgate

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Colgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Colgate

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Colgate is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

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.
