Wood floor repair in Down Street

What affects the price in Down Street

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Down Street. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

About our wood floor repair in Down Street

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
