About our wood floor repair in Cove

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cove and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Cove questions

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cove. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
