What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Wood floor repair in Babworth without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What affects the price in Babworth

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Babworth. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
