DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before you book

Howes questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
