How we handle wood floor repair in Northam

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Northam

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Northam questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How soon can you come?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Northam?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
