Wood floor repair in Shirley

Wood floor repair at your home in Shirley

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and burns, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire floor

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need wood floor repair in Shirley?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Shirley questions

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Shirley?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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.

Do you come to Shirley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shirley and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Shirley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, 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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
