Wood floor repair for Poughill homes

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our wood floor repair in Poughill

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

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. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Poughill questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Poughill?

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

Do you come to Poughill?

We do. We send a technician to Poughill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Poughill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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.
