Choosing a repair company

Wood floor repair at your home in Johnstone

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Johnstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Johnstone, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Johnstone questions

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
