Wood floor repair for South Barrow homes

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Wood floor repair in South Barrow without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Barrow as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why South Barrow clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
