How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Douglas
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
