What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Friar's Wash. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Friar's Wash use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
FAQs for Friar's Wash
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
