Wood floor repair for Upperthorpe homes

Wood floor repair in Upperthorpe, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. 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.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Upperthorpe

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Upperthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When to call us in Upperthorpe

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Questions from Upperthorpe

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What affects the price in Upperthorpe

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
