What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Cark

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cark

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Choosing a repair company

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
