Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Sholden
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Sholden?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
