Repairing versus replacing in Gobowen
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
