How we handle wood floor repair in Shevington Vale

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shevington Vale

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Shevington Vale

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Shevington Vale. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When to call us in Shevington Vale

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
