Repair or replace in Skegby?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Skegby
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs

Wood floor repair at your home in Skegby
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Skegby as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit

What a repair cannot fix

- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Questions from Skegby
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you come to Skegby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Skegby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What affects the price in Skegby
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Skegby. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
