DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Wood floor repair in Sawston, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Sawston?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sawston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Sawston

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Sawston

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Common problems we fix in Sawston

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Sawston

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
