Holwellbury: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Holwellbury?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SG5 postcode.

How we handle wood floor repair in Holwellbury

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

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

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
