South Newington questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you work in South Newington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to South Newington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including South Newington. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire floor
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- 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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in South Newington
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
