Wood floor repair in Lackford

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

Wood floor repair in Lackford without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, across laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lackford and across Suffolk. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Lackford

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

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

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP28 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lackford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Lackford

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP28 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
