DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Gittisham
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
