Wood floor repair near Newtown

About our wood floor repair in Newtown

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Newtown, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Newtown

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
