DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Do you need wood floor repair in Merton?

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Merton questions

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Merton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Merton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
