Wood floor repair near Copthorne

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

About our wood floor repair in Copthorne

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Copthorne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Copthorne. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Questions from Copthorne

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

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

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
