Wood floor repair in Newtown, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Newtown and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Newtown

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Newtown

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wokingham.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Newtown?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
