Wood floor repair near Gib Heath

How we handle wood floor repair in Gib Heath

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. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and burns, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Gib Heath

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When to call us in Gib Heath

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Gib Heath

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Gib Heath

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gib Heath

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gib Heath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos 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. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
