Wood floor repair near Handsworth

Wood floor repair in Handsworth without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and burns, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Handsworth

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When to call us in Handsworth

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your B21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
