Wood floor repair near Townsend

Wood floor repair in Townsend without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Townsend

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Townsend

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
