Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lopen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Lopen

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Lopen?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lopen. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lopen

If you manage property in Lopen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
