DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in St Neots

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to St Neots. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in St Neots

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How much does wood floor repair cost in St Neots?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover St Neots?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to St Neots and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
