Book wood floor repair in Torquay

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Wood floor repair at your home in Torquay

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torquay as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
