Other services in Troston
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Troston
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Troston?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Troston
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
