DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What else we do in Wasbister
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wasbister. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
