Need wood floor repair in Upton?

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we handle wood floor repair in Upton

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upton and across Southampton. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Upton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work in Upton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Upton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
