Wood floor repair in Short Heath

Landlord and trade work in Short Heath

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Wood floor repair in Short Heath, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Short Heath

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Short Heath clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our prices page.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

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 fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Short Heath

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price

The process

On the day, 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 morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
