How we price wood floor repair

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mere Side. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mere Side, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mere Side use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
