Wood floor repair at your home in Swarkestone

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Swarkestone

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swarkestone

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Swarkestone

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire floor

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Swarkestone?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

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