DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Thirlby: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Thirlby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thirlby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thirlby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
