Wood floor repair for Whauphill homes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whauphill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Wood floor repair in Whauphill, done in place

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. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Whauphill

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whauphill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Whauphill: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can tenants book a repair?

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