Wood floor repair for Cumberland homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Cumberland

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, in solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

When to call us in Cumberland

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board 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, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
