Wood floor repair in Long Load without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Long Load

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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