Wood floor repair in Horse Dale

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Horse Dale. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is 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 will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horse Dale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
