How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Laffak. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
For a price in Laffak, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Wood floor repair at your home in Laffak
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
