DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Wood floor repair in Shortacross without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Shortacross
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Shortacross?

Will the price change on the day?

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What affects the price in Shortacross
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
