Wood floor repair at your home in Ludworth

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Ludworth

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Ludworth?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Most clients in Ludworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
