Wood floor repair in St Thomas without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for St Thomas

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including St Thomas and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Is there a call-out fee?

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole floor

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
