DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Dovenby questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Dovenby
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
