Common questions in Stanks
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Stanks included. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Stanks?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Stanks?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Stanks
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
