Smithfield questions

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Smithfield and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Just around the damaged area.
Do you hold any accreditations?

What affects the price in Smithfield
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Smithfield. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Smithfield
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
