Repairing versus replacing in East Linton

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to East Linton. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
