How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
