Wood floor repair in Shilton

Your questions about wood floor repair in Shilton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

About our wood floor repair in Shilton

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shilton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Shilton

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Shilton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
