Oakthorpe questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Oakthorpe.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Oakthorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Oakthorpe and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Oakthorpe?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
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
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
