  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Donnington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Donnington. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
