What affects the price in Exnaboe
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ZE3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Exnaboe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Exnaboe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Exnaboe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
