What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Highfields Caldecote. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Highfields Caldecote get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Highfields Caldecote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
