Trusted wood floor repair in Shelton

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Wood floor repair at your home in Shelton

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shelton as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Shelton?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Shelton

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Shelton questions

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you cover Shelton?

We do. We send a technician to Shelton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
