How we handle wood floor repair in St Mary's

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Mary's use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in St Mary's?

Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to St Mary's. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in St Mary's, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
