Trusted wood floor repair in Shottisham

Wood floor repair at your home in Shottisham

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

If you are in Shottisham and want a price, 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.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shottisham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

Shottisham: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you cover Shottisham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shottisham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Shottisham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Shottisham

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
