Why repair rather than replace?
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. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Great Dalby: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
