How we handle wood floor repair in Waterside

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterside as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Waterside questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you work in Waterside?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Waterside and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Most customers in Waterside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Waterside

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BB3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Waterside

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
