How we handle wood floor repair in Roath

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Roath and across Cardiff. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Roath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Roath: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Roath

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
