About our wood floor repair in Wakefield

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Wakefield questions

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you come to Wakefield?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wakefield. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

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.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Wakefield

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Wakefield customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
