Wood floor repair at your home in Thorpe

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Thorpe: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 generally the cheaper route.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Thorpe

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Thorpe

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
