About our wood floor repair in Ratley

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ratley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Questions from Ratley

Are there extra charges for Ratley?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Ratley?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ratley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Ratley

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
