When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Wood floor repair in Walsworth, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Walsworth: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

When to call us in Walsworth

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Walsworth clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Walsworth

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Walsworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
