Wood floor repair for Longstanton homes

Longstanton: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Longstanton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How we handle wood floor repair in Longstanton

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for burns and gouges from moving appliances, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longstanton. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
