Book wood floor repair in Greenhill

Greenhill: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Greenhill?

We do. We send a technician to Greenhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Greenhill

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

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Greenhill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Greenhill

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Greenhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
