Wood floor repair in Stowford, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stowford as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Stowford

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: 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.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Stowford

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Stowford. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for Stowford?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What your quote should include

  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
