What affects the price in Garth Row

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Garth Row. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole floor

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

About our wood floor repair in Garth Row

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Garth Row and across Cumbria. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Garth Row clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Common questions in Garth Row

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
