Repair or replace: which is better?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for New Mill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Wood floor repair in New Mill without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
