Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St James South Elmham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in St James South Elmham

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover St James South Elmham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to St James South Elmham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
