Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
