How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Colney Heath get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
