Wood floor repair near Shorne

Wood floor repair at your home in Shorne

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can help, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shorne as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

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

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
