Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Makeney as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Signs you need wood floor repair in Makeney
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
- Chipped board edges

- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Makeney. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Makeney, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
