How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Our repair technicians cover all 19 towns and villages across Inverclyde, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Ashton to Glasgow (about 23 miles away).
Jobs in PA19 and PA16 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. From Fife Road, Golf Road and Banff Road or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. Being close to the A770, Ashton is easy for our technicians to reach.

Near you in Ashton

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Ashton
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Ashton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
