Wood floor repair for Unthank homes

Repairing versus replacing in Unthank

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Wood floor repair in Unthank, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with burns and dents from dropped items, we can help, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Unthank as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Unthank

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional 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 typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Unthank

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Unthank?

We do. Technicians travel to Unthank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Unthank and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
