Wood floor repair at your home in Plawsworth

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s burns and dents from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Plawsworth

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH2 postcode.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When to call us in Plawsworth

  • Gouges from moving appliances

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plawsworth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
