Wood floor repair in Lochawe

About our wood floor repair in Lochawe

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for burns and dents from dropped items, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lochawe

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lochawe. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Questions from Lochawe

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

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 you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
