Repairing versus replacing in Whitby

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

About our wood floor repair in Whitby

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and burns, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Just around the damaged area.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Whitby

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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