How we handle wood floor repair in Eastwick

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Eastwick

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Common questions in Eastwick

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you accredited?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
