Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rumburgh. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Common problems we fix in Rumburgh

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Advice

FAQs for Rumburgh

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Rumburgh?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
