Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Little Bentley
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
