Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Childerditch

Your questions about wood floor repair in Childerditch
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Childerditch?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
