Wood floor repair for Kiltarlity homes

Wood floor repair in Kiltarlity, done in place

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. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kiltarlity. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Kiltarlity questions

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Are there extra charges for Kiltarlity?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work 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. 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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Kiltarlity

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kiltarlity. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kiltarlity, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
