Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Winterbourne Steepleton: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Winterbourne Steepleton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Winterbourne Steepleton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
