Wood floor repair in Mile End

Wood floor repair at your home in Mile End

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
