Book wood floor repair in Ketton

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

About our wood floor repair in Ketton

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can usually put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Ketton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Ketton

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Ketton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ketton

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
