About our wood floor repair in Deritend

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Deritend and across Birmingham. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Deritend: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Deritend?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you need wood floor repair in Deritend?

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

Look out for these signs:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Deritend

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Deritend, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Deritend

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
