DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about wood floor repair in Thorpe by Water
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Thorpe by Water?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

We cover the whole UK, including Thorpe by Water and the rest of Rutland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What affects the price in Thorpe by Water
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What else we do in Thorpe by Water
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe by Water. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
