About our wood floor repair in Longthorpe

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Longthorpe

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Longthorpe

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Longthorpe

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Longthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Common questions in Longthorpe

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Longthorpe?

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

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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