What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Mackworth questions

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. 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. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are there extra charges for Mackworth?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Mackworth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Mackworth

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
