Wood floor repair in Gillock, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KW1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Gillock

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Gillock clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Gillock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gillock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire floor

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
