Your questions about wood floor repair in Gorseinon

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Swansea?

We cover the whole UK, including Gorseinon and the rest of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Wood floor repair in Gorseinon without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include burns and chipped board edges, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gorseinon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need wood floor repair in Gorseinon?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gorseinon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
