DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hethe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Hethe
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you come to Hethe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hethe and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Hethe?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
