Wood floor repair at your home in Melbourn

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Melbourn

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Melbourn

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Melbourn?

We do. We send a technician to Melbourn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When to call us in Melbourn

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
