Wood floor repair near Riddlesdown

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Wood floor repair in Riddlesdown, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Honest limits

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
