Trusted wood floor repair in Rickmansworth

Wood floor repair at your home in Rickmansworth

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
