Wood floor repair in Kirkstall

How we handle wood floor repair in Kirkstall

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LS5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Kirkstall

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Kirkstall included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What we can’t put right

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Kirkstall

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Kirkstall?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
