When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Castle Dene. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Castle Dene: your questions answered
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Castle Dene?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Castle Dene?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Castle Dene and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer

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