Wood floor repair in Skelton, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Skelton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
