Wood floor repair in Tiger Bay

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Wood floor repair in Tiger Bay without replacing anything

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’s the case. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cardiff. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Tiger Bay?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Tiger Bay

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Tiger Bay?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

For a price in Tiger Bay, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
