Wood floor repair for Petts Wood homes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Wood floor repair in Petts Wood without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Petts Wood and across Greater London. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Petts Wood

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Petts Wood. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
