Repair or replace in Bolam?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bolam. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Bolam and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
