Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Wood floor repair in Skelsmergh, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.
