How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Charles. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Charles, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Charles?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
