Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Old Shoreham. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Old Shoreham

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

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 works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
