10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ancaster. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Ancaster

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you come to Ancaster?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ancaster. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price
