Wood floor repair at your home in Desford

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Landlord and trade work in Desford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

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.

First the damaged area is cleaned.
We fill dents, chips and gouges.
We sand the repair flush with the board.
We match the colour and grain by hand.
Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Desford. The price reflects:

How many items we do on one visit
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
How many areas need work
How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

Engineered wood
Solid wood
Laminate flooring

Desford questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
