Wood floor repair near Sopley

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Wood floor repair in Sopley without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sopley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sopley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Sopley

Will it make a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

If you are in Sopley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
