How we handle wood floor repair in Shalford

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. 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, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Shalford

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Shalford: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Shalford?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Shalford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Shalford included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Shalford?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
