How we handle wood floor repair in Horton

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Horton

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you come to Horton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Horton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Horton. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
