How we handle wood floor repair in Lowca

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Lowca

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lowca as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lowca, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lowca. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Lowca

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
