Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
