About our wood floor repair in Surrey Canal

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for burns and dents from dropped items, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Surrey Canal

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Surrey Canal as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Surrey Canal

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Advice

What affects the price in Surrey Canal

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Surrey Canal. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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 quote without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
