Wood floor repair near Gretton

Wood floor repair at your home in Gretton

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Gretton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Gretton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

Gretton: your questions answered

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Gretton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
