Our hiring checklist

Your questions about wood floor repair in Southport

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Sefton. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southport use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in Southport

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Southport

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
