Need wood floor repair in Melplash?

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Wood floor repair at your home in Melplash

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Melplash questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Melplash?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

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

Are there extra charges for Melplash?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What we’re called out for in Melplash

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Melplash. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
