Trusted wood floor repair in Swanwick

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Wood floor repair in Swanwick without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Swanwick

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Common reasons people in Swanwick contact us include:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Swanwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
