About our wood floor repair in Hamister

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Hamister

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Hamister

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

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

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hamister. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
