What affects the price in Knowlton

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Knowlton. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire floor

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Knowlton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle wood floor repair in Knowlton

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, in laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months in Knowlton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Knowlton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BH21 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work in Knowlton?

We do. Technicians travel to Knowlton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
