How we handle wood floor repair in Selsey

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Selsey questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Sussex.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with 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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

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.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Selsey customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

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 frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
