Wood floor repair in Firsdown without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Firsdown as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need wood floor repair in Firsdown?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Firsdown questions

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Firsdown?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SP5 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you come to Firsdown?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Firsdown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What affects the price in Firsdown

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
