Wood floor repair in Saltley

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we handle wood floor repair in Saltley

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

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

What we cannot put right

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Saltley

Do you cover Saltley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Saltley and the rest of Birmingham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
