Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What wood floor repair costs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Forss, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Forss: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Forss?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Forss?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When to call us in Forss
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for any of the following:
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
