Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Repair or replace in Oakdale?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Oakdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakdale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
