Wood floor repair in Maxton

How we handle wood floor repair in Maxton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, 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’re frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Maxton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire floor

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board 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’s no premium for Maxton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Maxton clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
