Wood floor repair for Walkergate homes

About our wood floor repair in Walkergate

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in Walkergate

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Walkergate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Walkergate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Walkergate clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
