DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burton on the Wolds as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Questions from Burton on the Wolds

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
