Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Earls Colne

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
