We can repair a variety of issues with wooden floors, including scratches, dents, water damage, gaps between boards, broken or cracked boards, discolouration, and loose or squeaky floorboards. Our team assesses the damage and recommends the best repair solution for each issue.
Yes, minor scratches and dents can often be sanded out or filled with wood filler. Deeper scratches or dents may require more extensive repairs, such as replacing individual boards. After repairs, we refinish the floor to blend the repaired areas seamlessly with the rest of the surface.
If your wooden floor has water damage, it’s important to act quickly. Water can cause wood to warp, stain, or even rot. At Ryans Restoration, we repair water-damaged floors by replacing affected boards, sanding the area, and applying a protective finish to restore the floor’s appearance and prevent further damage.
Yes, gaps between floorboards can be filled with wood filler, resin, or matching wooden strips. Filling these gaps helps improve insulation, prevent dirt buildup, and restore the smooth, seamless appearance of your floor.
Squeaky floorboards are often caused by loose boards or movement between the boards and the subfloor. We fix this by securing the loose boards and addressing any underlying structural issues to stop the squeaking. This may involve tightening the boards or inserting new fasteners to prevent movement.
Yes, broken or cracked boards can be replaced. We remove the damaged boards and install new ones that match the existing floor. Once the new boards are in place, we sand and refinish the floor to ensure a seamless repair.
Discolouration can be caused by factors such as sun exposure, water spills, or wear over time. To fix discolouration, we sand the affected area and apply a new finish to match the original colour of the floor. In some cases, staining the floor may be necessary to achieve a consistent look.
The time needed for repairs depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the area being repaired. Minor repairs, such as fixing scratches or gaps, can take a few hours, while more extensive repairs, such as replacing boards or fixing water damage, may take a day or more. We provide an estimated timeline during the consultation.
In many cases, it’s possible to refinish just the repaired area to match the rest of the floor. However, if the damage is extensive or if your floor has significant wear, it may be necessary to sand and refinish the entire floor to achieve a consistent look.
The cost of wooden floor repairs varies depending on the type and extent of the damage, the size of the area being repaired, and the materials needed. After assessing your floor, we provide a detailed estimate based on the specific repairs required.
Yes, we can repair floors with water stains by sanding the affected area and refinishing it to remove the stain. If the water damage is more severe, such as warping or rotting, we may need to replace the damaged boards before refinishing the floor.
Yes, engineered wood floors can be repaired, but the repair methods may vary depending on the thickness of the top layer of wood. Minor surface damage can be sanded and refinished, but deeper damage may require replacing individual planks.
While small scratches or scuffs can sometimes be fixed with DIY kits, more significant repairs require professional expertise. DIY repairs can lead to further damage or visible inconsistencies if not done correctly. Professional repairs ensure a seamless and long-lasting result.
To prevent future damage, regularly clean your floors using a soft broom or vacuum, avoid using harsh chemicals, and wipe up spills promptly. Place protective pads under furniture legs, and use rugs or mats in high-traffic areas to reduce wear.

Our experienced team handles all types of floor damage, from minor scratches to more extensive repairs, using the best materials and techniques.
