Wood floor repair near Westhorpe

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Wood floor repair at your home in Westhorpe

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

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

What affects the price in Westhorpe

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Westhorpe questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How much does wood floor repair cost in Westhorpe?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Westhorpe.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
