Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Deans. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from Deans

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What affects the price in Deans

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Deans. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
