How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Oreston questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Oreston.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Oreston
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
