Floor repair: restore your floor with craftsmanship
Are you dealing with a damaged floor or simply want to bring part of your floor back to top condition? Don’t worry, floor repair can often be an excellent solution. Whether it’s a crack, dent, or missing piece, a floor doesn’t always need to be completely replaced. Discover how floor repair can make your floor look brand new again!
What is floor repair?
Floor repair involves restoring damaged or worn sections of your floor to its original condition. This can range from replacing loose planks to filling cracks and repairing damaged finishes. The goal is to not only improve the floor’s appearance but also extend its functionality and lifespan.
What is patching?
Patching is a technique where a missing or damaged part of the floor is filled in to seamlessly blend with the existing floor. This is often done during renovations or when a section of the floor is no longer usable due to wear or damage. In patching, the existing floor is worked on so that the new piece fully integrates with the old part, making the repair virtually invisible.
The process of floor repair
Step 1: Inspection and planning
Before starting the repair, the floor is thoroughly inspected. The specialist assesses the nature and extent of the damage and discusses the best approach with you. This may involve determining whether a local repair is possible or if more extensive work is required.
Step 2: Preparation
For local repairs, the damaged parts of the floor are cut out or removed. In patching, the existing floor is sanded down, and a matching new piece is custom made.
Step 3: Repairing and finishing
The new piece of floor is carefully placed and secured. The entire floor is then sanded and finished with a protective layer, such as oil or varnish, to integrate the repair with the rest of the floor. The result? A seamless finish that’s nearly impossible to notice.
How long does it take?
The time needed for floor repair depends on the extent of the damage and the type of floor. Small local repairs can often be completed in one day. More extensive repairs, such as patching or full replacements, may take a few days, including drying and curing time.
Pricing & costs
The cost of floor repair varies depending on the damage and the work required. Since every situation is unique, an on-site inspection is the best way to receive an accurate quote. This gives you a clear overview of what to expect.
