What affects the price in Red Lodge

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

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Red Lodge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Wood floor repair at your home in Red Lodge

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Red Lodge

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Red Lodge

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Red Lodge?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Red Lodge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Common problems we fix in Red Lodge

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
