Trusted wood floor repair in Sandford-on-Thames

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Wood floor repair in Sandford-on-Thames without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandford-on-Thames

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Sandford-on-Thames: your questions answered

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
