What affects the price in Shaw
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole floor
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Shaw
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
