Wood floor repair in Rowley

About our wood floor repair in Rowley

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

10 questions to ask before booking

Rowley questions

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace in Rowley?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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