Trusted wood floor repair in Gustard Wood

Wood floor repair at your home in Gustard Wood

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Gustard Wood

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Does someone need to be in?

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’re working on.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AL4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
