Wood floor repair in Harbottle without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Harbottle questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Harbottle

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Harbottle

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.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
