Trusted wood floor repair in Knowle

Wood floor repair in Knowle, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Knowle questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What affects the price in Knowle

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX33 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
