What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

We do. Technicians travel to Burston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
