Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Questions from Chiswell Green

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Do you need wood floor repair in Chiswell Green?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Chiswell Green

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
