Wood floor repair in Pennington without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

FAQs for Pennington

How much does wood floor repair cost in Pennington?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Pennington

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pennington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price
