How we handle wood floor repair in East Tilbury

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months in East Tilbury and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Your questions about wood floor repair in East Tilbury

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Tilbury

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Tilbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
