Tringford: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Tringford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Tringford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Wood floor repair at your home in Tringford
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Tringford, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Tringford
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
