Trusted wood floor repair in Draycott

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Wood floor repair in Draycott without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and gouges from moving appliances.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Draycott questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Draycott. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Draycott

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

What affects the price in Draycott

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Draycott and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
