Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Newtown

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Newtown

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
