Wood floor repair for Covent Garden homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Covent Garden

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Common questions in Covent Garden

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our prices page.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your W1F postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Covent Garden

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
