How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Greenside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE40 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Wood floor repair in Greenside without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, across engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Greenside

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Greenside?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Greenside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
