DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dolau. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor

Repairing versus replacing in Dolau
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dolau. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
