About our wood floor repair in Orchard Leigh

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about burns and dents from dropped items.

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

Repair or replace in Orchard Leigh?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Orchard Leigh

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Orchard Leigh get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Orchard Leigh

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
