About our wood floor repair in Ynysowen

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ynysowen. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ynysowen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Ynysowen

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ynysowen: your questions answered

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
