Wood floor repair for West Smethwick homes

About our wood floor repair in West Smethwick

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and burns, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in West Smethwick

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in West Smethwick?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West Smethwick and the rest of Birmingham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Advice

Landlord and trade work in West Smethwick

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Smethwick as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for West Smethwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water

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