Wood floor repair for Low Common homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Low Common

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What affects the price in Low Common

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Low Common. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Low Common

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Low Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
