Wood floor repair for Ramshaw homes

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Wood floor repair in Ramshaw without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Ramshaw

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Ramshaw

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
