What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Needham Market. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Needham Market

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Needham Market?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When to call us in Needham Market

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
