Wood floor repair in Waterlane without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Waterlane and across Gloucestershire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Waterlane: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

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.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you come to Waterlane?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waterlane. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

What we’re called out for in Waterlane

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Waterlane. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waterlane. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Waterlane get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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