Wood floor repair for Sowhill homes

Wood floor repair in Sowhill without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s chipped board edges and burns, we can help, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Sowhill questions

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Sowhill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sowhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
