About our wood floor repair in The Knap

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

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need wood floor repair in The Knap

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for The Knap. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for The Knap

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Vale of Glamorgan.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including The Knap. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in The Knap get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
