How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cringleford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Cringleford

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Cringleford?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you come to Cringleford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cringleford and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairing versus replacing in Cringleford

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
