Wood floor repair for Connel homes

Wood floor repair in Connel without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Common questions in Connel

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
