What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cove. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cove, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
About our wood floor repair in Cove
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and gouges from moving appliances.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cove as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

When a repair is not the answer

What we work on
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
