Choosing a repair company

About our wood floor repair in Tavistock

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tavistock and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tavistock

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tavistock as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

Once we are 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 few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

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

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Tavistock

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
