Common questions in Crabtree

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crabtree.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How we handle wood floor repair in Crabtree

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

When a repair is not the answer

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crabtree

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crabtree as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Crabtree, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Crabtree

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
