How we handle wood floor repair in Ilton

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ilton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ilton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Ilton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Ilton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ilton and the rest of Somerset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ilton

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

What affects the price in Ilton

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
