Colne Engaine questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How we handle wood floor repair in Colne Engaine

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and burns, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Colne Engaine, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we are called out for in Colne Engaine

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
