Wood floor repair in Duckhole, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

FAQs for Duckhole

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Duckhole

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Duckhole. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

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 are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Duckhole and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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