Wood floor repair in Ratby

Wood floor repair at your home in Ratby

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlord and trade work in Ratby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Ratby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ratby

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours 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. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
