How we handle wood floor repair in Gawthorpe

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gawthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Gawthorpe questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work in Gawthorpe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gawthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Gawthorpe?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Gawthorpe?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.
