Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whinfield
For anyone letting property in or around Whinfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common questions in Whinfield
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
