FAQs for Purse Caundle
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Purse Caundle. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Purse Caundle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
