Trusted wood floor repair in Bun Othan

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

Bun Othan: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Bun Othan?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you cover Bun Othan?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bun Othan. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
