Wood floor repair in Etchingwood, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include burns and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Etchingwood

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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Etchingwood. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Etchingwood

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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