Trusted wood floor repair in Rubery

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

Wood floor repair at your home in Rubery

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What affects the price in Rubery

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rubery, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Rubery

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Rubery questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work in Rubery?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Rubery from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
