DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How do I book?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Landlord and trade work in Riber

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Riber use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
