Wood floor repair near St Loye's

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

About our wood floor repair in St Loye's

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in St Loye's

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

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

Materials we work on in St Loye's

Common questions in St Loye's

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in St Loye's get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
