Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

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

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dunnington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Dunnington

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged 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. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
