About our wood floor repair in Whippingham

Laminate swollen by water can’t 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 scratches from furniture and pets and burns, across solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

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

  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole floor

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

Whippingham: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Whippingham?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whippingham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
