Wood floor repair in Farway

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

About our wood floor repair in Farway

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in Farway

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Farway

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
