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. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stratton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

About our wood floor repair in Stratton

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Stratton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Stratton

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
