About our wood floor repair in Washington Village

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, across laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Washington Village and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

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.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire floor

For a price in Washington Village, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Washington Village clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our full price list.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Washington Village

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, 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 Washington Village as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
