We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bannister Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Bannister Green questions

How much does wood floor repair cost in Bannister Green?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Bannister Green?

We do. We send a technician to Bannister Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need wood floor repair in Bannister Green?

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Common reasons people in Bannister Green contact us include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
