Wood floor repair in Star

How we handle wood floor repair in Star

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and dents from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Common questions in Star

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

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

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Star?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What affects the price in Star

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Star, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Star, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
