Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Milton Abbot

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
