How we handle wood floor repair in Rettendon

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Common questions in Rettendon

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Repair or replace in Rettendon?

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rettendon

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rettendon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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