Wood floor repair in Cousland

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle wood floor repair in Cousland

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Cousland

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cousland, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cousland

If you manage property in Cousland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 booking.
