DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Wood floor repair at your home in Upper Cotton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Common questions in Upper Cotton

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Upper Cotton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Upper Cotton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Upper Cotton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Repair or replace in Upper Cotton?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
