Edgbaston questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Edgbaston?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your B15 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Edgbaston. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
Most clients in Edgbaston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
