Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price

Your questions about wood floor repair in Stoborough Heath
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Stoborough Heath, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
