How we handle wood floor repair in Winch Wen

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, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Winch Wen?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winch Wen

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

When to call us in Winch Wen

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Questions from Winch Wen

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
