Wood floor repair for Cross homes

Repair or replace in Cross?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

Wood floor repair in Cross, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Landlord and trade work in Cross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Cross, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Cross

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cross. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Cross questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
