What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

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

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Loudwater

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What affects the price in Loudwater

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Loudwater. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Loudwater. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WD3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Loudwater

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
