Wood floor repair in Hornby

What a repair cannot fix

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

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle wood floor repair in Hornby

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, across engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Hornby

For anyone letting property in or around Hornby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Hornby

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Hornby questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Are you accredited?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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 match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
