Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Gallows Green
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
