Can I fix it myself?

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 typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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. Replacement in Shorwell means trades, travel and waste removal, while wood floor repair is one trip.

Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shorwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Common questions in Shorwell

Can you restore the original floors in an older house in Shorwell?

Frequently, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.

Do you come out to small places like Shorwell?

Yes, we do: Shorwell is covered like any town. Tell us if access is tricky.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Shorwell.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shorwell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Somewhere as small as Shorwell, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
