Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Otley

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Your questions about wood floor repair in Otley

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Otley. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Otley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
