Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with burns and dents from dropped items, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

The process

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 few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pilgrims Hatch

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Pilgrims Hatch: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you come to Pilgrims Hatch?

We do. We send a technician to Pilgrims Hatch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
