Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Old Down
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Old Down
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Your questions about wood floor repair in Old Down
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of South Gloucestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Old Down and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
