How we handle wood floor repair in Shawlands

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Shawlands questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you work in Shawlands?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Shawlands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shawlands, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Shawlands?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawlands

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
