Wood floor repair in Great Canfield, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you have scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

In a village like Great Canfield, older homes may have tiled or wooden floors that have been down for years, so a replacement rarely matches. A repair keeps what you have.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Great Canfield?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. For a rural home like those around Great Canfield, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while wood floor repair is one trip.

Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
