How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dalton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Dalton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Dalton

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Dalton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

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