Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to London Apprentice. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from London Apprentice

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Repairing versus replacing in London Apprentice

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
