Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in South Ruislip

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from South Ruislip

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so South Ruislip is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Landlord and trade work in South Ruislip

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Ruislip as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need wood floor repair in South Ruislip?

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
