Wood floor repair near Lower Dicker

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

About our wood floor repair in Lower Dicker

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and burns, across engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Common questions in Lower Dicker

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Just around the damaged area.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Dicker

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Lower Dicker?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Lower Dicker customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lower Dicker. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
