Bobbing questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bobbing

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed 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.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Bobbing?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bobbing. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
