Book wood floor repair in Old

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Old get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our wood floor repair in Old

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Old

Are there extra charges for Old?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Old?

We do. We send a technician to Old for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

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.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Old

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
