About our wood floor repair in Rumworth

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Rumworth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Rumworth

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are there extra charges for Rumworth?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Rumworth

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

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
