The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Swan Bottom: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Swan Bottom

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Swan Bottom. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Swan Bottom

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
