Wood floor repair in Wath upon Dearne

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle wood floor repair in Wath upon Dearne

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 before booking.

What we work on

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