About our wood floor repair in Cottam

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most often call us about chipped board edges and burns.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cottam and across Lancashire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Cottam

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Cottam?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cottam and the rest of Lancashire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Cottam

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cottam

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cottam. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
