About our wood floor repair in Whetstone

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

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

Common questions in Whetstone

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Whetstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whetstone. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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