What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hipswell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hipswell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Before you book anyone

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Hipswell
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
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’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hipswell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
