How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Buckhaven. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Buckhaven: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Buckhaven and the rest of Fife. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Buckhaven?
We do. We send a technician to Buckhaven for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
