DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Etterby
For anyone letting property in or around Etterby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
