Wood floor repair near South Leigh

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Wood floor repair at your home in South Leigh

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, 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. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need wood floor repair in South Leigh?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

FAQs for South Leigh

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in South Leigh.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in South Leigh

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for South Leigh. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
