Wood floor repair near Thornham Magna

Wood floor repair at your home in Thornham Magna

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, across laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Thornham Magna

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Thornham Magna, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

  • Gouges from moving appliances

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Thornham Magna customers choose us
