Wood floor repair for Ideford homes

Wood floor repair in Ideford, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Our hiring checklist

Ideford questions

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ideford included. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ideford. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole floor

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Ideford

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ideford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ideford 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 happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

If you’re in Ideford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
