What affects the price in West Dulwich

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in West Dulwich

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, West Dulwich included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you come to West Dulwich?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West Dulwich and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in West Dulwich

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Dulwich

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Dulwich use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
