Wood floor repair in Sotby without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s chipped board edges and burns, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sotby

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Sotby questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
