Wood floor repair for Shilbottle homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

For a price in Shilbottle, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Wood floor repair in Shilbottle, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to compare quotes

Questions from Shilbottle

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you come to Shilbottle?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shilbottle. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
