Wood floor repair for Ham homes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Wood floor repair at your home in Ham

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Ham questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Ham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
