Wood floor repair for Ovington homes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. 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.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

How we handle wood floor repair in Ovington

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 typically cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ovington

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Ovington

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Ovington: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE42 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
