DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Wood floor repair in Shurton without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Shurton questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

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.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shurton. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
