- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in East Guldeford
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in East Guldeford
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
