Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Lathones

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Lathones?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Fife?

We cover the whole UK, including Lathones and the rest of Fife. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Lathones, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
