How we handle wood floor repair in Red Hills

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Red Hills as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in Red Hills

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

FAQs for Red Hills

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work in Red Hills?

We do. Technicians travel to Red Hills from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
