How we handle wood floor repair in Outlands

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

How to compare quotes

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Questions from Outlands

What happens after I send photos?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Outlands?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Outlands and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
