Repairing versus replacing in Wall Nook

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Wood floor repair in Wall Nook, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix burns and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Wall Nook

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Wall Nook

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
