Repairing versus replacing in Greenacres

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greenacres. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle wood floor repair in Greenacres
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Common questions in Greenacres
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OL4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
