What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Repair or replace in Thwaite?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

10 questions to ask before booking

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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