Wood floor repair in Riccarton

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

About our wood floor repair in Riccarton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and burns.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Riccarton

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your KA1 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Riccarton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
