Need wood floor repair in Eggleston?

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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Wood floor repair at your home in Eggleston

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
