Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. 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. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
