Wood floor repair in Thorne

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thorne. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Thorne get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our wood floor repair in Thorne

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
