Wood floor repair in Guide, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and burns, across solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What we are called out for in Guide

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Common reasons people in Guide contact us are:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Guide?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

Your questions about wood floor repair in Guide

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Guide?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Guide?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Guide. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
