Wood floor repair near Ware

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Wood floor repair in Ware, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Ware

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

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

Common questions in Ware

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ware. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Ware and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Ware?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What a repair cannot 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 before booking.
