Wood floor repair in Iken without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Iken

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Iken: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Iken. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you come to Iken?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Iken from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Common problems we fix in Iken

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

If you are in Iken 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.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
