Wood floor repair near Milburn

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle wood floor repair in Milburn

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Milburn

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How soon can you come?

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

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a 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. Prices start 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 are paying for.
