  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Advice

Your questions about wood floor repair in Great Barford

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Bedford Borough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Great Barford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Great Barford

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Great Barford

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Great Barford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Great Barford

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
