What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Crabtree, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Crabtree

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need wood floor repair in Crabtree?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Crabtree questions

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

We cover the entire UK, including Crabtree and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
