DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Minskip: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
For a price in Minskip, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Minskip, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire floor
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
