Repairing versus replacing in Polstead Heath

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Your questions about wood floor repair in Polstead Heath

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Polstead Heath?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage
