Wood floor repair for Whittlesford homes

Common questions in Whittlesford

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Wood floor repair at your home in Whittlesford

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, in laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whittlesford as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Whittlesford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Repairing versus replacing in Whittlesford

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t 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.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Whittlesford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need wood floor repair in Whittlesford?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
