Wood floor repair in Metcombe, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

What affects the price in Metcombe

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Metcombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Metcombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site

FAQs for Metcombe

Do you come to Metcombe?

We do. Technicians travel to Metcombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, 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.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
