Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Horseman Side. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horseman Side. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Horseman Side

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
