Wood floor repair near Sprouston

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Wood floor repair in Sprouston, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and burns.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sprouston as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Sprouston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Sprouston

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sprouston included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you come to Sprouston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sprouston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sprouston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
