About our wood floor repair in Selmeston

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Common questions in Selmeston

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Selmeston?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Choosing a repair company

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Landlord and trade work in Selmeston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
