About our wood floor repair in Martin Mill

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Martin Mill

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Martin Mill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
