Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barlow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
