What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Altnaharra. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
About our wood floor repair in Altnaharra
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When to call us in Altnaharra
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
