FAQs for Doffcocker
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
