The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Wood floor repair in Greencroft without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Greencroft

Our hiring checklist

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Greencroft. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Greencroft, and we will reply with a fixed price.
