DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Wood floor repair in Crawford, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repairing versus replacing in Crawford

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crawford. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about wood floor repair in Crawford

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crawford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
