The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: 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 from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KT24 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Effingham

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Effingham, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?
