DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down 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.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Higher Wincombe, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Wincombe

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Higher Wincombe

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you work in Higher Wincombe?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Higher Wincombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
