Wood floor repair for Vulcan Village homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Wood floor repair in Vulcan Village without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Vulcan Village. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Vulcan Village

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of St Helens?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you come to Vulcan Village?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Vulcan Village and the rest of St Helens. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
