Wood floor repair near Little Altcar

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

How we handle wood floor repair in Little Altcar

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for burns and chipped board edges, in laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Little Altcar as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Altcar

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your L37 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
