Book wood floor repair in Gleaston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Wood floor repair in Gleaston, done in place

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 is the case. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gleaston. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gleaston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Gleaston

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Gleaston?

We do. We send a technician to Gleaston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
