Your questions about wood floor repair in St Stephens
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes St Stephens. Prices do not change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you come to St Stephens?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to St Stephens. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Stephens. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in St Stephens
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
