Wood floor repair near Old Tame

Wood floor repair in Old Tame, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Tame as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Old Tame, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
