Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in Dolau

Do you cover the whole of Powys?

Across the UK, so Dolau is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you work in Dolau?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dolau. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What affects the price in Dolau

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dolau. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
