About our wood floor repair in Welby

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Welby

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Welby.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Welby clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
