Wood floor repair in Plaitford

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Wood floor repair in Plaitford, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plaitford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Plaitford questions

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Plaitford?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SP5 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
