Wood floor repair for Neilsland homes

Wood floor repair in Neilsland without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Honest limits

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Neilsland: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Neilsland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
