Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Wood floor repair at your home in Gunthorpe

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When to call us in Gunthorpe

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Gunthorpe customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

A few things move the price: 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

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Gunthorpe questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Landlord and trade work in Gunthorpe

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
