About our wood floor repair in Selly Oak

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Selly Oak questions

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
