What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire floor
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle wood floor repair in Kenton
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Kenton
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
