Wood floor repair for Nelson homes

Wood floor repair in Nelson without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Nelson get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Nelson

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Nelson

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
