Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.

What affects the price in Welham
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material

When to call us in Welham
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
Before booking anyone

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Welham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
