Wood floor repair near Ely

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Ely get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle wood floor repair in Ely

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ely. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, 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 what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
