Wood floor repair for Ditchling homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Wood floor repair at your home in Ditchling

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Ditchling

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you come to Ditchling?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ditchling and the rest of West Sussex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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 recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
