Wood floor repair near Hartley

Repairing versus replacing in Hartley

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hartley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with 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 any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
