Wood floor repair for Swinford homes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

About our wood floor repair in Swinford

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. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Swinford: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Swinford, and we will reply with a fixed price.
