How we handle wood floor repair in Willington

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Willington

Do you come to Willington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Willington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How the visit works

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. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
