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 won’t stop us repairing it. 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. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
A few things move the price: 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
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Buttsbury
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
