Wood floor repair at your home in Gilley Law

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are burns and chipped board edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Gilley Law

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you come to Gilley Law?

We do. We send a technician to Gilley Law for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

When to call us in Gilley Law

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SR3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
