Related advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Hillside
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PR8 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Hillside included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hillside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
