Questions from Sunniside
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
