DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Shottlegate?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
