Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Helmshore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Wood floor repair at your home in Helmshore

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Helmshore

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
