Wood floor repair in East Preston without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix burns and scratches from furniture and pets, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Questions from East Preston

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in East Preston.

Do you cover East Preston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to East Preston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Our hiring checklist

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
