Wood floor repair in West Stow

Wood floor repair at your home in West Stow

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

West Stow questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for West Stow?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole floor

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in West Stow?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Stow

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
