How we handle wood floor repair in Plashet

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Plashet

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood

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 leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Plashet questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
