Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire floor
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Wood floor repair at your home in Broad Oak
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
