Wood floor repair in Cotton End, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Cotton End

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Cotton End and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Questions from Cotton End

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
