Wood floor repair in Distington

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Wood floor repair in Distington, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Distington

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Distington

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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