What else we do in Highstead
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace in Highstead?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
