Wood floor repair near Shiel Bridge

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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 clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Wood floor repair in Shiel Bridge, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most often call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Shiel Bridge, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace in Shiel Bridge?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about wood floor repair in Shiel Bridge

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shiel Bridge

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shiel Bridge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
