What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlord and trade work in Blackford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Blackford
Replacing a 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Blackford
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Blackford?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Blackford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
