Wood floor repair for Guide Post homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Wood floor repair in Guide Post, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are burns and chipped board edges.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What affects the price in Guide Post

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Guide Post

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Guide Post

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I have to be there?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you work in Guide Post?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Guide Post and the rest of Northumberland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
