Choosing a repair company

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Just around the damaged area.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gare Hill. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gare Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Gare Hill?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
