Wood floor repair near Hightae

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hightae. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle wood floor repair in Hightae

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How to compare quotes

Hightae questions

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DG11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hightae

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hightae as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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