Barton: your questions answered

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.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Barton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Barton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Barton

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

Landlord and trade work in Barton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

When to call us in Barton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Barton

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barton. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
