Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Wood floor repair in Platt's Heath, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for burns and gouges from moving appliances, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
