Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, 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 us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

Wood floor repair in Strathore without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Questions from Strathore

Is there a guarantee?

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

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Strathore?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KY1 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Strathore. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Strathore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
