We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Wood floor repair in Brixham without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for burns and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. 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. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Brixham

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Brixham questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
