Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Benson
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Benson questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are there extra charges for Benson?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
