Wood floor repair in The Heath

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

The Heath questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

How much does wood floor repair cost in The Heath?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so The Heath is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in The Heath

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
