Wood floor repair at your home in Stoke Row

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Stoke Row

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Stoke Row

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Stoke Row: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stoke Row.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
