Wood floor repair in Cross in Hand

Wood floor repair at your home in Cross in Hand

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Cross in Hand questions

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Which areas do you work in?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you need wood floor repair in Cross in Hand?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Common reasons people in Cross in Hand contact us include:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cross in Hand

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
