Your questions about wood floor repair in Pilton
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
There are no surprise 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.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pilton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
