Repairing versus replacing in Friar Waddon
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
FAQs for Friar Waddon
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work in Friar Waddon?
We do. We send a technician to Friar Waddon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
