Wood floor repair in Whitton

How we handle wood floor repair in Whitton

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. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitton

If you manage property in Whitton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
