About our wood floor repair in Hathern

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 is the case. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: 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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hathern as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Hathern

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

Choosing a repair company

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Hathern?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
