Trusted wood floor repair in Deaf Hill

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our wood floor repair in Deaf Hill

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, across solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 Deaf Hill

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

Common reasons people in Deaf Hill contact us are:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Deaf Hill

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Deaf Hill questions

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
