How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
