Repairing versus replacing in Colworth
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colworth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Colworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

Your questions about wood floor repair in Colworth
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Colworth and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
