Repair or replace: which is better?

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire floor

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Helbeck, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Helbeck

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

Common problems we fix in Helbeck

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Helbeck questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price
