About our wood floor repair in Melton

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, in laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Melton as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Melton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Melton. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Melton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
