FAQs for Waterfoot

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterfoot

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterfoot as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Waterfoot get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Waterfoot?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
