Wood floor repair near Whitehough Head

How we handle wood floor repair in Whitehough Head

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Whitehough Head. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
