DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shirwell Cross. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shirwell Cross, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Shirwell Cross
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Shirwell Cross?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shirwell Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often 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. Instead of hourly rates, 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.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
