How to compare quotes

Wood floor repair at your home in Drumoak

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most often call us about burns and chipped board edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Drumoak

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Drumoak

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drumoak use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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