Wood floor repair near West Leake

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Leake. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Wood floor repair in West Leake, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about burns and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we’re called out for in West Leake

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

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

Repairing versus replacing in West Leake

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
