FAQs for Gunthorpe

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Gunthorpe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Wood floor repair in Gunthorpe without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
