Wood floor repair near Hitcham

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Wood floor repair in Hitcham without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

You’re covered after we leave: 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 spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hitcham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Hitcham?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hitcham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Questions from Hitcham

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hitcham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Hitcham?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Hitcham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hitcham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Before booking anyone

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Hitcham

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

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