Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Elmhurst. What changes the price is:

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back

Advice
Common problems we fix in Elmhurst

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Elmhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
