How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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 about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

How we handle wood floor repair in Swalecliffe

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
