The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Broughtown
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Broughtown
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
