What a repair cannot fix

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Wood floor repair at your home in West Bay

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in West Bay

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in West Bay and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in West Bay

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
