Wood floor repair in Hillcommon

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Wood floor repair in Hillcommon, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and burns.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day

Hillcommon: your questions answered

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

When we would 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
