Advice
Wood floor repair at your home in Osbaldeston
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Osbaldeston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Osbaldeston
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you work in Osbaldeston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Osbaldeston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Osbaldeston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
