Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Cosham?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
