What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Blackmore, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Blackmore
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Blackmore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
