Wood floor repair in Purton

About our wood floor repair in Purton

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Purton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole floor

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Purton

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Purton

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
