Wood floor repair in Harraton

Wood floor repair at your home in Harraton

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can usually put it right, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What affects the price in Harraton

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Harraton. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE38 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Harraton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
