Wood floor repair for Goodrington homes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Goodrington

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Goodrington questions

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover Goodrington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Goodrington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Goodrington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goodrington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Goodrington?

What affects the price in Goodrington

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TQ4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
