Wood floor repair near Dowlais Top

Wood floor repair in Dowlais Top, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dowlais Top, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Dowlais Top: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Merthyr Tydfil. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Landlord and trade work in Dowlais Top

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Dowlais Top, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
