Wood floor repair at your home in Prestwold

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Do you need wood floor repair in Prestwold?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

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