Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Hillswick
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hillswick.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hillswick. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hillswick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
