Wood floor repair in Selattyn, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Selattyn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Selattyn?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
