Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Plumgarths and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plumgarths

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Plumgarths, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

If you’re in Plumgarths and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
