Wood floor repair near Stour Row

Repair or replace in Stour Row?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Wood floor repair in Stour Row, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, across solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stour Row. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What do you need from me?

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Are you a vetted contractor?

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stour Row use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
