Wood floor repair in Drayton without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drayton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Drayton

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish

What affects the price in Drayton

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Drayton. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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