TIMBER FLOOR REPAIRS

Many older homes in Toowoomba have damaged sections that need repairing. Damage is caused by many things: pets urinating on your floor, water stains from pot plants, missing flooring areas from moving walls during renovations, boards that have splintered and split from excessive wear, significant gaps, burn marks from dropped cigarettes, and many more reasons.

We are experts at making invisible repairs

If you have one or more of these issues with your timber floor, we have the skills and experience to repair them for you. You will be able to transform those ugly, damaged areas into a seamless, invisible repair that no one will ever know existed.

We can replace any damaged flooring anywhere in your home, including smack bang in the middle of rooms. We use the same type, size, grade, and timber milling so that it will be close to a perfect match.

We can also lace together rooms with no timber flooring previously so it will blend seamlessly into an adjoining room with existing wood floors. Once the sanding, staining, and coating processes are complete, the repaired areas will blend in with the surrounding area and look completely original.

3 Important Cautions About Repairs

There are three points to note when it comes to having a professional, close-to-invisible repair:

1. The first and one of the biggest mistakes we see is using different types of similar wood. If you have a Cypress Pine floor, you don’t want to use Hoop Pine for the repair. The difference in colour and grain will stand out like a sore thumb. You won’t be happy.


2. The second mistake we often see is using the same type of wood but different milling. There are three common ways of cutting/milling log: plain sawn, quarter sawn and rift sawn. If you have rift sawn flooring, the last thing you want to do is repair it with plain sawn. The difference will be very noticeable.


3. The third mistake we see people make is using the same wood, and same milling, but a different flooring grade. Common flooring grades are Prime grade, Select or Classic grade, Character grade, and Rustic grade. If you have Select grade flooring, you don’t want to repair the area with Character grade flooring. Again, the repair will stand out and annoy you to no end.

We want you to be ecstatic about your finished floor. Doing repairs correctly goes a long way in ensuring you will be. However, if you don’t have someone look at your damaged areas before your project starts, you are taking a big chance that your repairs won’t look as good as they should.

The last thing you want is to be trying to source the correct timber for the repair last minute. Or worse, end up with repairs that are noticeable from using the wrong product.
