  • Underfloor damage

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

Materials we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole floor

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Dean

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Dean

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Dean is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
