What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Gabber get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gabber as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
