About our wood floor repair in Sandhead

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandhead

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Sandhead

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Sandhead: your questions answered

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Sandhead?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandhead

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
