Book wood floor repair in Russell Hill

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Wood floor repair in Russell Hill, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and chipped board edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Russell Hill

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Russell Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Russell Hill

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you cover Russell Hill?

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
