Wood floor repair in Slaley

How we handle wood floor repair in Slaley

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Slaley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Slaley questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slaley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Slaley?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.
