Wood floor repair in Wellington

About our wood floor repair in Wellington

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Questions from Wellington

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Landlord and trade work in Wellington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Wellington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Wellington

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 normally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
