DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

About our wood floor repair in Watton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, across laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why Watton customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Watton: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

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.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
