Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Shaw customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shaw

If you manage property in Shaw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Shaw get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shaw, and we will reply with a fixed price.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

We do. We send a technician to Shaw for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
