Common questions in Wavertree

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you cover Wavertree?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wavertree from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your L15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need wood floor repair in Wavertree

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

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave 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. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.
