What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Wood floor repair in Starr Gate without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Starr Gate

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to compare quotes

Questions from Starr Gate

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Blackpool. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
