10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Motherby questions

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Motherby and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Motherby?

We do. We send a technician to Motherby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
