How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Bleatarn
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Bleatarn?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Bleatarn?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Bleatarn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
