Wood floor repair in Knowstone

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Wood floor repair in Knowstone, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Knowstone

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Knowstone?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Knowstone.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Knowstone and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairing versus replacing in Knowstone

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Knowstone, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
