Trusted wood floor repair in Horns Cross

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Wood floor repair at your home in Horns Cross

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and burns, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place
