Wood floor repair in Hints, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s chipped board edges and burns, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Hints

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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Hints customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hints

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Do you need wood floor repair in Hints?

Before you book anyone

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
