Wood floor repair in Whatfield, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and burns, we can help, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.

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

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Whatfield

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
