Wood floor repair near Salcombe

Wood floor repair in Salcombe, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salcombe

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Salcombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we can’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Salcombe

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

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Salcombe: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover Salcombe?

We do. We send a technician to Salcombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
