Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why choose Surface Doctor in New Lane

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

New Lane: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to New Lane?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to New Lane and the rest of Lancashire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your L40 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
