Trusted wood floor repair in Gastard

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Wood floor repair in Gastard without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and burns, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Gastard and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Gastard

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
