Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about wood floor repair in Great Shelford
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repair or replace in Great Shelford?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Shelford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
