What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Knowle

Do you work in Knowle?

We do. Technicians travel to Knowle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Knowle?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Knowle

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
