Wood floor repair in Southbourne

About our wood floor repair in Southbourne

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Southbourne and across West Sussex. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southbourne

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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

FAQs for Southbourne

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you come to Southbourne?

We do. We send a technician to Southbourne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What affects the price in Southbourne

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

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 the same day in most cases.
