How we handle wood floor repair in Newtown

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

How the visit works

On the day, 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. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Newtown

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Newtown?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Newtown. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Newtown. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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