How we handle wood floor repair in Lover

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Lover?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Lover

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lover. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
