Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Shillingstone clients choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle wood floor repair in Shillingstone

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

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What affects the price in Shillingstone

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shillingstone, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Shillingstone

Is my repair covered?
