Questions from Cockwells

How much does wood floor repair cost in Cockwells?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Cockwells and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Cockwells

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Cockwells

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
