Wood floor repair in Preston Capes

Wood floor repair in Preston Capes, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our pricing.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

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

Questions from Preston Capes

Do you work in Preston Capes?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What areas do you cover?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Preston Capes?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
