About our wood floor repair in Rucklers Lane

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rucklers Lane: your questions answered

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What we cannot put right

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

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

Materials we work on in Rucklers Lane

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Rucklers Lane

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Rucklers Lane

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include
