About our wood floor repair in Lydlinch

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Lydlinch

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lydlinch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire floor

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydlinch use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Lydlinch

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
