Choosing a repair company

Wood floor repair in West End without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West End

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West End use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

West End questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in West End

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
