Our hiring checklist

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cornsay Colliery. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Cornsay Colliery

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
