DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

About our wood floor repair in Newnham Murren

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Your questions about wood floor repair in Newnham Murren

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What we are called out for in Newnham Murren

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newnham Murren use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Newnham Murren, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
