Wood floor repair for Glenlochar homes

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Glenlochar. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Wood floor repair at your home in Glenlochar

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 typically the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
