About our wood floor repair in Swan Street

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in Swan Street

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Swan Street. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Swan Street

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Swan Street?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Swan Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Swan Street?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
