Wood floor repair at your home in Wickham Bishops

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and chipped board edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickham Bishops

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Wickham Bishops

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

10 questions to ask before you book

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Wickham Bishops get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
