FAQs for Eye

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
