How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire floor
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Wood floor repair at your home in Linton
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Linton: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How it works

- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
