How we handle wood floor repair in Delph

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Delph. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Delph

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.
