Choosing a repair company

How we handle wood floor repair in Wapping

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with burns and chipped board edges, we can help, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wapping. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring

Repairing versus replacing in Wapping

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wapping

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wapping as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
