Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. In an older home in a village like Gatcombe, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. In a village or hamlet like Gatcombe, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gatcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
