Wood floor repair in Marlpit Hill

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Wood floor repair in Marlpit Hill, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Marlpit Hill

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

What affects the price in Marlpit Hill

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Marlpit Hill, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Get a quote

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
