Questions from Hermitage

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hermitage is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How we handle wood floor repair in Hermitage

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
