Our hiring checklist

Wood floor repair in Oval without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oval as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Oval

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oval. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Oval get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
