The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Wood floor repair in North Prospect, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

North Prospect questions

Are there extra charges for North Prospect?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

Everywhere in the UK, North Prospect included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in North Prospect.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in North Prospect?

Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for North Prospect. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in North Prospect, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
