Need wood floor repair in Spott?

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Wood floor repair in Spott without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Spott questions

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spott

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Spott. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Any details about the material
