How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crackenthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Crackenthorpe, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Crackenthorpe

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair is not the answer

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Crackenthorpe

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
