Wood floor repair in Southborough

Wood floor repair at your home in Southborough

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can help, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

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’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Southborough

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Southborough?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Southborough from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southborough

If you manage property in Southborough, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

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

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Southborough. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
