How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
