How we handle wood floor repair in St Margarets

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in St Margarets and across Hertfordshire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Margarets

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in St Margarets

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Margarets. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
