Wood floor repair in Gwbert

Wood floor repair at your home in Gwbert

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Gwbert: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What affects the price in Gwbert

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
