Wood floor repair in Sketty, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Sketty

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sketty

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Sketty, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
