About our wood floor repair in Labour-in-vain

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include burns and chipped board edges, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Questions from Labour-in-vain

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Labour-in-vain included. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything

Landlords, agents and businesses in Labour-in-vain

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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