Wood floor repair near Polbathic

Polbathic: your questions answered

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Are there extra charges for Polbathic?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Wood floor repair in Polbathic without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

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

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Polbathic. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole floor

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Polbathic, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
