About our wood floor repair in Laxdale

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include burns and gouges from moving appliances, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Laxdale and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to compare quotes

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Laxdale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
