How we handle wood floor repair in Wemyss Bay

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Wemyss Bay

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in Wemyss Bay?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wemyss Bay and the rest of Inverclyde. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wemyss Bay. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wemyss Bay

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wemyss Bay use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
