Your questions about wood floor repair in Ermine

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Ermine

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Ermine

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ermine. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire floor

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ermine as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Ermine

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
