About our wood floor repair in Higher Wheelton

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
