Trusted wood floor repair in Smallford

Wood floor repair at your home in Smallford

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and burns, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

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. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Smallford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
