How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Your questions about wood floor repair in Bassingbourn

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Bassingbourn?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SG8 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Bassingbourn. Prices do not change with location.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bassingbourn

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
