Trusted wood floor repair in Southover

Wood floor repair in Southover, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southover. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southover

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southover as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
