Wood floor repair near Litton Cheney

About our wood floor repair in Litton Cheney

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Litton Cheney

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Repair or replace in Litton Cheney?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
