Book wood floor repair in Otterton

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Otterton

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

Wood floor repair in Otterton without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Questions from Otterton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Otterton.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

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

What affects the price in Otterton

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
