DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sicklesmere. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Sicklesmere

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sicklesmere as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
