Your questions about wood floor repair in Portrush
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover the whole of Coleraine?
The whole UK, including all of Coleraine. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
