How we handle wood floor repair in Knowle St Giles

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Knowle St Giles. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
