Questions from Greengate
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
