Inkerman questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are there extra charges for Inkerman?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Inkerman and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inkerman as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Inkerman

  • Laminate flooring
