- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Questions from Careby
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Careby?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When to call us in Careby
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
