Questions from Lightwood

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there any odour?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Lightwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Lightwood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
