How to compare quotes

Westcotes questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

When a repair is not the answer

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westcotes

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 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.
