Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harrowden use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we handle wood floor repair in Harrowden
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harrowden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Harrowden: your questions answered
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Harrowden. Prices don’t change with location.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
