Common questions in Grimethorpe

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimethorpe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
