Wood floor repair in Compton

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Wood floor repair in Compton, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Compton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Compton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Compton

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Landlord and trade work in Compton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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

Signs you need wood floor repair in Compton

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Compton?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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

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