About our wood floor repair in Founthill

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Founthill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Founthill

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
