Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire floor

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Stanway

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanway

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Stanway questions

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Stanway?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO3 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
