Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buxhall use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Buxhall
Do you cover Buxhall?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Buxhall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Buxhall?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
