Wood floor repair at your home in Reiss

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

What affects the price in Reiss

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Reiss. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Reiss. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

FAQs for Reiss

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
