Wood floor repair for Gurnos homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Gurnos

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gurnos

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Merthyr Tydfil and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gurnos. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Gurnos

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you come to Gurnos?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gurnos for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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 any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

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