What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

The size and number of damaged areas
The type of damage
How easy the damage is to reach
How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
What it’s made of, if you know
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Wood floor repair in Langenhoe without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and burns, we can help, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

First the damaged area is cleaned.
Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
We sand the repair flush with the board.
We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Have a window or extractor fan available
Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

New-build snagging: repairing chips and scratches

Langenhoe questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Langenhoe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
