Repairing versus replacing in Ilston
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Ilston
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire floor
For a price in Ilston, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
