How we handle wood floor repair in Lower Swell

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Common problems we fix in Lower Swell

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Lower Swell questions

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

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