Wood floor repair in Huxter

Wood floor repair in Huxter without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Huxter. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Huxter, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Huxter

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
