Wood floor repair near Holcombe

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Holcombe. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Wood floor repair at your home in Holcombe

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can generally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Holcombe questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
