Wood floor repair in Sandford

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Sandford

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Sandford?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

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

When to call us in Sandford

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

Before booking anyone

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our full price list.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Sandford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
