How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Frinton-on-Sea: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Frinton-on-Sea?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Frinton-on-Sea

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
