Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Alumwell: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Alumwell. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alumwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Walsall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WS2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
