Wood floor repair in Pennywell

About our wood floor repair in Pennywell

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

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

Landlord and trade work in Pennywell

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pennywell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SR4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Pennywell

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
