That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Just around the damaged area.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Repair or replace in Birches Head?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Birches Head

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
