Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Wood floor repair in Lower Thurvaston, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

What else we do in Lower Thurvaston
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
