Wood floor repair for Houston homes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Wood floor repair at your home in Houston

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Houston questions

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Houston and the rest of Renfrewshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work in Houston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Houston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

What affects the price in Houston

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Houston. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Houston
