About our wood floor repair in Gileston

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gileston. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gileston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Gileston: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
