Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle wood floor repair in New Invention

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Is there a call-out fee?

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Invention

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Invention use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in New Invention?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in New Invention

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
