Repairing versus replacing in Kells

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. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Wood floor repair at your home in Kells

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Kells: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Kells and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Kells?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Kells?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Kells from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kells. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kells

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting 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 will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
