Wood floor repair in Gwrhay, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gwrhay and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repairing versus replacing in Gwrhay

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

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 will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Gwrhay, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Gwrhay: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Gwrhay included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work in Gwrhay?

We do. We send a technician to Gwrhay for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
