How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Marlow Common: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Marlow Common?
We do. We send a technician to Marlow Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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.
