We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scotby

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scotby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Scotby

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
