It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Can you price it without visiting?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Arniston
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Arniston?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
