What affects the price in New Boston
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in New Boston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in New Boston
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of St Helens. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What we are called out for in New Boston
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
