What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Questions from Whitehaven

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Whitehaven?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Whitehaven clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Whitehaven

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitehaven. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Whitehaven, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
