Trusted wood floor repair in Scottlethorpe

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Wood floor repair in Scottlethorpe, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Scottlethorpe: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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’ll say so.

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

Choosing a repair company

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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.
