Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently 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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stow

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stow use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Stow

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LN1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
