Wood floor repair in Howsham

Wood floor repair at your home in Howsham

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, in engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Howsham

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Howsham?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Howsham

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howsham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
