What affects the price in Upper Sanday
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Wood floor repair in Upper Sanday, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Upper Sanday questions
Is my repair covered?

Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Only from the area we are working on.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Sanday
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
