What affects the price in Bowthorpe

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What your quote should include

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Bowthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Bowthorpe

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Bowthorpe?

We do. Technicians travel to Bowthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
