Wood floor repair in Reigate, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about burns and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

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 normally cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Reigate: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Reigate.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Landlord and trade work in Reigate

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 regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
