About our wood floor repair in Longden Common

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Longden Common questions

Is there a guarantee?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Longden Common

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
