Wood floor repair for Lydford homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Lydford

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’re dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

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

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lydford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Lydford

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Lydford. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When to call us in Lydford

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

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

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
