How we handle wood floor repair in Little Laver

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix burns and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Little Laver

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Laver. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Laver

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
