Wood floor repair in Hatchford without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most often call us about burns and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatchford

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Hatchford questions

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hatchford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hatchford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Repairing versus replacing in Hatchford

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
