Repairing versus replacing in Tolleshunt D'Arcy

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to compare quotes

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Tolleshunt D'Arcy: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tolleshunt D'Arcy

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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 quote, not a guess.

Related advice

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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
