It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shaftenhoe End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Shaftenhoe End?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
