Repairing versus replacing in Whitton

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Wood floor repair in Whitton, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Whitton questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Whitton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Common problems we fix in Whitton

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whitton. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
