Wood floor repair in West Down without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Choosing a repair company

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole floor

Most clients in West Down get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in West Down

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from West Down

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
