Wood floor repair near Shalford

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

About our wood floor repair in Shalford

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
