About our wood floor repair in Saltburn

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltburn

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Saltburn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Saltburn?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

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 do not use it until it has fully cured. 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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
