Trusted wood floor repair in Ilminster

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Wood floor repair in Ilminster without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ilminster questions

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

How much does wood floor repair cost in Ilminster?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
