About our wood floor repair in Milton

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Milton

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Repair or replace in Milton?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What a repair can’t fix

  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

  • Laminate flooring

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Milton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
