About our wood floor repair in Crookgate Bank

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and burns.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Crookgate Bank and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Crookgate Bank

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we do, step by step

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

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Pricing is simple: 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. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
