Questions from Meriden
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Meriden?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Meriden. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Meriden?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your WD25 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Meriden
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Meriden
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meriden as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
