Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Riding Mill questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Riding Mill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Riding Mill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How much does wood floor repair cost in Riding Mill?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE44 postcode.

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Riding Mill

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Riding Mill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE44 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Riding Mill. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
