Wood floor repair for Southfields homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle wood floor repair in Southfields

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include burns and gouges from moving appliances, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southfields as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Southfields

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole floor

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Southfields

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Southfields questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Are there extra charges for Southfields?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover Southfields?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Southfields and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
