What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

FAQs for Horningsea

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Horningsea?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horningsea

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horningsea as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Horningsea

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
