Wood floor repair in Stow Maries

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Stow Maries

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Stow Maries questions

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
