About our wood floor repair in Thornton

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thornton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Thornton questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Thornton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Thornton

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
