How we handle wood floor repair in Elton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Elton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Elton

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you come to Elton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Elton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Elton included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

For landlords and businesses

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Elton?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
