Wood floor repair in Scowles

Wood floor repair in Scowles without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Scowles as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Scowles questions

How soon can you come?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Scowles. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Our hiring checklist

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  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 recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
