Common questions in Stow Hill

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Stow Hill?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
