Need wood floor repair in Mapperley?

When a repair is not the answer

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle wood floor repair in Mapperley

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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 are called out for in Mapperley

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Mapperley

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mapperley. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Mapperley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
