For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Rye Foreign
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Rye Foreign questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Rye Foreign is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
