How we handle wood floor repair in Sharpthorne

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sharpthorne and across West Sussex. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sharpthorne

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, 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. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sharpthorne. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Sharpthorne and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
