Trusted wood floor repair in Follingsby

Wood floor repair in Follingsby without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Questions from Follingsby

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you come to Follingsby?

We do. We send a technician to Follingsby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Are there extra charges for Follingsby?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Follingsby. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
