How we handle wood floor repair in Stoke Canon

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, across engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Stoke Canon and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Stoke Canon

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Canon

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Canon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
