When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE56 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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.

If you manage property in Shottle, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Shottle

Do you work in Shottle?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shottle and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
