Wood floor repair in Lower Raydon without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower Raydon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Lower Raydon

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Raydon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
