Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Ridgewell

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Ridgewell Church of England Primary School, tiled corridors and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

Our hiring checklist

Ridgewell: your questions answered

Can you repair floors at a school or business in Ridgewell?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We will agree timings that suit the building.

Is it worth repairing old floors in a period home in Ridgewell?

In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Ridgewell?

We do. We send a technician to Ridgewell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Ridgewell?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What affects the price in Ridgewell

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ridgewell. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. Somewhere like Ridgewell needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the wood floor repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Older homes around Ridgewell may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
