Wood floor repair in Thickholme

About our wood floor repair in Thickholme

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for burns and chipped board edges, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Thickholme questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Thickholme?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Thickholme

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
