Book wood floor repair in Yarnton

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

About our wood floor repair in Yarnton

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Yarnton

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Yarnton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

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

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.
