Our hiring checklist

Wood floor repair in Oakbank without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

What affects the price in Oakbank

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Oakbank. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Oakbank

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.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Oakbank: your questions answered

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Are you accredited?

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

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover Oakbank?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Oakbank and the rest of West Lothian. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repairing versus replacing in Oakbank

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
