Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole floor

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Our hiring checklist

We cover the whole UK, including Childerley Gate and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
