Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Wood floor repair at your home in Elvet
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Elvet
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for Elvet?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
