How we handle wood floor repair in Pentre Dwr

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Pentre Dwr

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What affects the price in Pentre Dwr

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pentre Dwr as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
