Wood floor repair at your home in Watford

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watford

For anyone letting property in or around Watford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

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

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Do you need wood floor repair in Watford?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Watford. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Watford: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

When can you do it?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
