How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Wood floor repair in Hemingford Abbots without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Hemingford Abbots
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
